Rooney looks like he's lost about 15 pounds since the leg injury too, much more lively today than early in the season

I take your point re. Nani not tracking back but whilst you could make an argument for sitting him based on the first half imo he had a very good second half. Involved in pretty much everything. That first goal imo is also a lot on Evans and Carrick. Ferdinand got dragged out following his man and Evans got caught in no mans land staring at an acre of space which by the time he decided to close down was too late. The other two were sorta a blessing in the level that Rio was exposed.
And agreed ....time to move Ferdinand on. Too slow in speed and reaction for that level. There's a lot of holes in United at the moment.
I thought Nani was a clear penalty but as Ferguson said maybe he made too big a meal of it. Oversold it.
